cakelava in BRIDE'S

cake images by blufotografica

First off, I'd like to acknowledge that my interview with Joan Spitler of Cake Divas, has been postponed until tomorrow. It was a busy week for both Joan and I and we needed another day to get the interview ready. Please join us back here tomorrow and Friday for our 2-pt. interview.


Last night we picked up the new issue of BRIDE'S magazine, and noticed a very familiar cake in there -- Kelly's cake -- in their "A To Z Guide to Destination Weddings" section. We had heard sometime ago from photographer, Brad Uyehara of blufotografica, that our cake may run in the issue, as BRIDE'S was considering a number of his images to run in their feature, but as with any publication, you never really know until you see it in print.

The cake in the feature was made for our bride Kelly. She was flying in from Canada to get married in Hawaii and wanted a whimsical Hawaiian style design with an elegant feel, and wanted to incorporate their theme, which was also their wedding song, Jack Johnson's "Better Together". She wanted palm trees and whimsical tropical flowers, and surfboards, reminiscent of Hawaii and the beach. To customize her cake further to include the Jack Johnson song, Rick added the lyrics to "Better Together" on the cake board, which you can see in the photo above. Just another example of blufotografica's amazing work! The same image used in the BRIDE'S magazine feature is on cakelava.com. If you are planning a destination wedding, be sure to check out the feature and see more of blufotografica's work.

Aloha, til tomorrow!
